On the afternoon of July 27, alarm sirens sounded in several areas of northern Israel, forcing citizens to take refuge in shelters. But Hamas also accuses the Tel Aviv army of having shelled from the Gaza Strip a field hospital in Deir al-Balah, in the center of the strip of land bordering the Mediterranean Sea. There, an IDF raid left 30 dead and about 200 wounded, according to the Gaza authorities.

This version clashes with that provided by the Gaza Civil Protection, controlled by Hamas, according to which the school complex had become a place of refuge for more than 4,000 displaced people. The videos released by Associated Press They show dozens of people moving through the rubble, searching for the missing. Gaza authorities said today's Israeli raids killed at least 50 people across the Strip.
